The Tomb -- Is Empty

This morning I checked on a few remote cemeteries and did some investigating. Here is the verified record of what I found:

Confucius' tomb- occupied
Buddha"s tomb - occupied
Mohammed's tomb - occupied
Joseph Smith's tomb - occupied
Mary Baker Eddy's tomb - occupied
Jesus' tomb - EMPTY!
The Resurrection Record is Clear

John 20 records Resurrection morn. John and the apostles were startled and ran to confirm the report of the women that the tomb was empty. Remember the events?

1. Mary Magdalene Mark 16:9-11; John 20:10-1 8

11. Those who watched Jesus ascend into heaven Luke 24:44-49; Acts 1:3-8
